Sometimes, the hardest vow to keep is the one to never give up.
I’m Sebastian Boone, and my life is a lesson in how to destroy a marriage.
For twenty-two years, Lia was my partner, my anchor, the steady force behind our family. While I worked, she raised our children, ran our home, and supported me without question. I didn’t see how much I was taking for granted.
But there’s always a last straw. For Lia, it was the day of her graduation when I didn’t bother to show up. After years of putting everyone else first, she was finally doing something for herself, earning a degree and starting a career. I dismissed it as unimportant.
So, she leaves me—walks away from our marriage, our home, and the life we built. And the worst part? Our children stand by her.
At first, I think Lia just needs time, and then she’ll be back. But as days pass, I see the truth. Lia isn’t waiting for me to fix things. She’s building a new life—one where she isn’t my wife first and herself second.
For the first time, I wonder if she’s better off without me. Because the truth is staring me in my face: I am not better without her.
